When football season ends I'm back to my perpetual restoration project. Etch primed the inside of the front fenders & hood yesterday but I won't see more primer here for a couple weeks. So while I wait, I modified the ashtray and mount today to fit the replacement dash.

Gibson Brands close all their production facilities for the first week in April for inventory and maintenance so I'm shooting to get the thing painted during that week.

PS - If I was a betting man, and I am, I would bet on the Predators to carry the Stanley Cup this June.

Nice ride. Mines in my avi. Also working on an inverted color scheme one for my son. Instead of black on silver will be silver on black

I am a skier (headed to Jackson Hole in a couple of weeks), and my wife and kid got me into the figure skating, so the Winter O's are a good watch.

Looking forward to spring training and a rejuvenated SF Giants team. I have been a fan of the Giants since 1962.

I grew up watching the NBA on ABC TV on Sunday mornings (Wilt vs. Russell, etc). Many my age don't like the NBA today. I actually do. There are more great athletes in the league right now than ever before. How can I not like watching the Greek Freak, Porzingas, Westbrook, etc and the rookie class is the best I have ever seen top to bottom. Maybe even my Sacto Kings will get good soon...

I considered silver stripes on this. It's a "Duster 340" and it'll have the big factory 340 stripes down the sides and across the tail light panel. But not only was I inspired to get one of these when I was in high school by a black on black '72 Duster with the white stripes, this is the very car that inspired me. As a tribute I'll keep that look as best I can.
